Info Wynncraft Patch Notes Mirror

This thread exists for the sole purpose of mirroring the patch notes from most recent versions of Wynncraft following a change where patch notes are now posted on the Official Discord Server rather than the Forums. As such, this thread only keeps track of versions past 2.1.1. Detailed Item Changelogs are not listed.

If you can't access Discord for one reason or another, this is where all the changelogs can be found. This thread will be closed to keep it clean.

2.1 - The Rekindled World Update

Spoiler: 2.1.1 Updates

All content here is posted verbatim from the #changelogs channel on the Wynncraft Discord.

Major Updates

• Character Selector Revamp
  • Joining the game for the first time in your session will always present you with the character overview, a place where you can quickly join the world and also see the latest character you used (or your favourited character!) alongside your pets and your character card. The "scene" where your character is customizable and you can choose one among the ones we prepared, as long as you meet with their rank requirement!
    • Players will need to join once on each character to update the content progress bar displayed in the Character Overview.
  • By right clicking on the overview, you will open the brand new character selector. There you can visualize all your currently available characters, edit them, or even create a new one! We also revamped how you can customize your character icon by allowing HERO or higher ranked players to pick a color from a selection of hues and shades (totalizing 45 different options).
  • When creating a character you will now be presented with a custom tailored animation that showcases the class you are currently seeing, alongside with a much better customization experience.
• Raids
  • With this update, we have changed the bosses within Guild Raids to be more challenging to fight, with new and unique mechanics. (Changelog mentioning rewards changes not being added is no longer relevant since they have been added into the game later)
  • The second half of the Orphion's Nexus of Light boss fight is here! Even though it no longer has control over its intended host, it won't give up without a fight.
    Orphion's health has been reduced to balance the addition of a second phase.
• Tutorial
  • The King's Recruit quest has seen major changes in this update! We've cleaned up various older elements which weren't up to our standards, reordered certain sections for a smoother experience, and added new sections to introduce mechanics such as loot caves.
    Additionally, various other earlygame quests have also seen gameplay changes.
• Tomes
  • In the Rekindled World changelog, we had promised a new system that would give out the stat buffs that Tomes used to give. As the hero beta for that update went on, and after the update had released, we began to feel that we liked the state of game balance without the Base Mob Damage and Base Mob Defense stats present. As a result, we have decided that these stats will not be returning to the game.
    While other tome boosts such as Gathering XP may be added for content completion in the future, the confirmed removal of Base Mob Damage and Defense means that many enemies which had received extra stats in preparation for those stats to return must be nerfed. With this update, we have already reduced the stats of multiple bosses. Many other enemies and bosses for content above Lv 60 which had been updated with the new stat baselines will also receive similar nerfs as time goes on.

• The Sunrise Canyon Boss Altar has received some updates!
  • The boss arena has been entirely rebuilt
  • There is now an intro cutscene for the boss, replacing the original pre-fight dialogue (this is skippable on repeat watches).

Raid Changes

• General Changes
  • Adjusted Eroded Speedster's Gambit to reduce max health by 3% every 25 seconds
  • Fixed the Cursed Alchemist Gambit counting potions that weren't actually consumed as consumed
  • Fixed Maddening Mage's Gambit not correctly cancelling original spell casts
• Nest of the Grootslangs
  • The platforms in the Miniboss Room will now rise twice as quickly
• Orphion's Nexus of Light
  • Fixed the lighting in the Tower Room
  • Falling into the void in the Overseer Room now does % HP damage instead of raw true damage
• The Canyon Colossus
  • The Boulder Rush and Parkour sub-challenges in the Binding Seal Room now require players to pick up a Flame from the respective challenge entrances to activate the seals. While holding a Flame, players are unable to use spells or abilities, and some identifications (walk speed and jump height) are disabled. Boulders have been slowed by 20% to compensate.
    • Dev Note: This change was made in order to reduce the viability of skipping the whole challenges with movement spells and should hopefully add a bit more substance to the room. While holding a Flame, you gain increased sprint duration and regeneration, and if you're attempting the parkour challenge, you additionally gain resistance to fall damage and speed 1. Multiple players can hold a Flame for the same challenge at once, so multiple people can still attempt the challenges at the same time.
  • Fixed the Platform Room platform bounding boxes being incorrect
  • Fixed an issue where players could get stuck inside platforms in the Lava Room
  • Updated the instruction room for the Lava Room
  • The player defending Elder Astal in the Binding Seal Room will no longer be targeted by enemies

• Added a new item to the Decommissioned War Machines World Event
• Added a new World Event to Time Valley

• Moved the teleport location for falling off the bridge during Annihilation further back

Dungeon Changes

• The old Sand Witch boss no longer spawns beneath Hashr's arena in Sand-Swept-Tomb
• Fixed a bug with the Piranha in Galleon's Graveyard

Ability Changes

• General
  • Aspects can no longer be edited while your equipment is locked
• Archer
  • Fixed Arrow Bomb spawning in walls in certain conditions
• Warrior
  • Fixed Blood Pact not allowing spell casts using health while the Outworn Soldier's Gambit is equipped
  • Fixed Discombobulate's damage increase being spread across all elements, rather than applying the full boost to each element dealt
• Assassin
  • Added a boss bar to Mirror image to display current clones and their status
  • Clones will now reposition when dying so they are always in an appropriate location
  • Buffed Forbidden Art (Damage per Clone: 0 -> +5%, Damage Cap: -5% -> +5%)
• Mage
  • Devitalizing Winded will now override normal Winded in order to apply the enemy debuff
  • Fixed Timelock sometimes not granting flight and dealing fall damage upon use
  • Fixed Attack speed affecting Ophanim's orb windup time as well as which orbs get sent out.
    • Dev Note: All orbs, no matter what attack speed will go out in the same order every time, which should prevent the annoyance where one orb dies before any of the others when using faster weapon speeds
  • Fixed Chaos Explosion casting spells in the wrong order
• Shaman
  • Added a new ability: Totem Shove! Casting Totem while looking at an existing Totem will instead shove it forwards, dealing damage to any enemy it crashes into.
  • Added a new Summoner ability: Friendly Fire! Hitting your Puppets with Main Attack will cause them to lose 4s of their duration.
  • Totem now casts significantly faster (Vertical Velocity: 1 -> 0.5)

  • Buffed Totemic Smash (Neutral: 100 -> 120%)
  • Gave Puppets a new visual display when their timer is nearing 0
  • Attached Crimson Effigies to Totems and removed their timer. This means you will have 1 Crimson Effigy per Totem you have active
    • Dev Note: This has been done to encourage more summons to be active at once and to remove the need to uproot Totem in order to keep them active. They will spawn on Totem cast and despawn when Totems go inactive. They will not despawn if you recast Totem though!
  • Crimson Effigies will now take more factors into consideration when selecting a target to attack
  • Removed More Effigies
  • Totem and Totemic Smash now deal summon damage type
    • Dev Note: This is to allow abilities such as Bullwhip to buff Totem damage. We are slowly moving towards Summoner treating Totem as a summon itself!
  • Bullwhip will now reapply its duration when re-whipping enemies
  • Awakened will now return masks to the user when swapping between them
  • Increased the range at which Masks will attach to enemies when using Haunting Memory to make it easier to use

    • The self sacrifice attack of the final stage of Infection Ad Infinitum has been adjusted to not be prone to one shots
